The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Jayjay]

Well.. I missed a lot with 1 day away from the foruns.

 

I am looking for a different lens protector for the T1 and was looking down the killflash route. However, I needed a protector like this regardless for my Elcan LDS replica which really doesn't seem to have another solution and already has a tiny chip in it from where it was hit.

 

I will likely be purchasing a kill flash or what JCheeseright linked in the near future. 

 

Though I am also looking at getting a magnifier, which I'm stumped on how to protect when it's not sat behind the T1...

 

On another note. My 4 mags and bugger tube arrived today.

 

EPGC and Rail covers are on there way.

 

Just struggling to find a PTS MOE CTR stock in tan anywhere. That being said I haven't looked outside of my 4/5 usual retailers.

Generally they come with flip up covers which you can put down when you flip it to the side. Generally I've found them to be pretty useless. They aren't solid enough to be accurate and are too dark to see targets properly

Interestingly not the first person I've heard say that they're not the best. See where the wind takes me I guess.

Got myself organised!

 

 

No more take away containers for me! Oh no.... Little drawers are the future.

Does the fine print of that warranty specifically state that the company will cover damage in use (from an external source vs a failure in materials or workmanship)?  Because that would be a very rare thing it has to be said; generally warranties explicitly say they don't cover that kind of thing.

 

 

I'm not 100% but the optics we have had that have been shot out they have replaced with no bother at all.

That's good of them for sure, but I still wouldn't risk it myself I have to say.  Only takes one tiny policy wording change and you're up the creek next time you have a lens shot (and the bigger and more successful brands get the less they tend to give a s**t about the end user).  Costs bugger all to get protectors for these things, might as well save the down time having to post it back to my mind, but each to their own.

I still have a sacrificial lens on mine for that very reason (although admittedly I do forget to put it on, on occasion)

So not much for me recently

 

Magpul MS3 Sling in Ranger Green

Magpul MOE forgrip (I like that Magpul include a little section of rail so the grip can be utilized on other rail platforms other than picatinny)

 

I'm not much for doing reviews but the UF Pro strikers I bought a week or so back are easily the most comfy pair of combat trousers I have ever owned! 

[Aengus]

A tw*t hoody for my old man. Yes he's mocking you...

[PopRocket123]

KWC Cybergun 1911 Rail Gun, 2 spare mags and 25 CO2 capsules because they were 40p a pop

[Monkman]

Tokyo Marui HK45 Tactical, IMI Retention holster, Nuprol Fast Mag loader (No more cramp in index finger loading 10xmags over and over), Classic Army M203 to fit onto my new(ish) Nuprol Delta Sopmod. (M203 comes Monday) and from America a Wide-I magnetic anti-fog wiper.

 

**Found that my IMI retention holster was too tight for my TM HK45, so after a little googling...boiled the holster in a pan for a min or two, as the polymer started to soften, squeezed the gun in and now fits perfectly and fully locks.

Swapped a butt tube for a stupidly powerful laser that will now be pressed into service popping balloons, also bought a new TM Hi-Capa to replace the one I gave my dad.

All I have to do now is learn how to shoot straight to beat him at practical pistol

Pics... or it didn't happen.

[djben9]

Second LEDlenser7.2 with pressure pad and gun mount.... runs on AAA so easy to replace instead of stock up on the CR123 batteries which aren’t cheap....and bright enough for my use.... will still use my other ones though....every AEG needs a light 

 

Few 30mm mounts from Ant Supplies for it to fit to rails in offset and low style .... yeah the lenser is a chunky mofo 

 

molle clip to clip gun to other side of rig when using pistol...

 

really trying not to spend so my excuse is torch has many needs when not on gun!!....keeps wife happy

Is that nuprol speedloader thingy decent?

I don't really want to drop 60+shipping on the gucci one

[Monkman]

Speedloader seems to work ok, very plasticky....I have nuprol midcap polymer mags and they lock in fine,, takes about 10 cranks to fill up the 120rnd mag and the loader holds 1000 bbs..  Though when you take the mag out, with gentle shaking bbs will drop out of the speedloader.  So its best to turn it upside down after each mag fill.  Still good though....for £24.  Not sure on how durable it will be in the long run though, but its better than loading by hand all day.

What make of rail have you got on your m4 as I've been looking for 1 that will allow me to mount my barrel mount m203

Almost identical to the odin - I have both. I'd recommend the nuprol over the odin for value for money. My odin ate the blades of the wheel on it's first outing and odin sent me replacement parts. It was shipped with a clutch that was too tight.

 

In fact I'd even try this for the money!

Absolutely 100% guarantee that is identical to the Nuprol one, they don't manufacture ANYTHING.

I'll order the nuprol tomorrow then

Because loading midcaps is part of the reason why I rarely play with them..

I've put the stock on hold for now. MOE stocks seem to be discontinued. PTS EPS stock seems to fat and would look/feel horrendous given how slim this is. I was considering the PTS Ergo F93 Stock, but its a bit on the expensive side.

May get a torch or laser module to go on as well, we'll see.
